Thanks for the link and explanation, ChumChum. That makes much more sense.

What I'm hearing regaring how pop rush used to work doesn't fit my understanding of it. It's not that the unhappy workers were being killed, but rather that the unhappiness generated from rushing was applied before your # of unhappy->content modifiers. If you looked in your main info screen...

from page 42 in the manual, I doubt the developers didn't realize that this would lead to working on projects you don't want prior to getting the tech for a wonder you want so you'd get the wonder faster. It's an obvious tactic that's probably been around since the first 4X game that didn't...

so get some floppy disks, winzip, and span the patch over a few floppies. or better yet, use some form of removable disk that has a larger capacity, and you don't even need to split the file. Problem solved.

Ahh, the code for the 'establish an embassy' pop-up kicks in then as well, I'd forgotten about that. I stand corrected. :o

You can't, but don't assume it's a bug! Firaxis may have intended it that way. :lol:

It would probably be less of an issue if the unhappiness was allowed to stack. Like Aeson mentioned, let people go from unhappy/angry to really unhappy, so that instead of needing one content face to make an unhappy person content, that person required two (or more, if you've been really busy...

:rotfl: I'm sorry, but that's just too ridiculous. This isn't some deep and obscure effect that requires much study to determine whether or not it acts as intended. You're still basically saying that unless a developer says otherwise, it's not a bug. I have to say I feel that's somwhat...

We don't need Firaxis to verify it's a bug. According to your logic, if they resolved all the bugs in the game then dropped off the face of the earth, one could claim their software was then permanently bug-free, technically speaking of course. Hmm, better keep that quiet, don't want to give...

pagh80, I'm annoyed because you clearly don't get it. I would have thought that was pretty clear. Let's just say that I'm big on honesty. :D I'll answer that I haven't reloaded a game for the purposes of the contest, even though that was directed to EEKthedog. You should realize that...

How is this even an issue? Is there even a realistic chance of using that bug in the first place without reloading over and over until you get the results from a hut that you want, and you happen to stumble on his capital quickly and combat turns out just right? Somehow I doubt it, and if I'm...

A problem with that is someone who places 4th in a conquest victory might win if they leave one opponent alive and win via spaceship or cultural. Unless you let someone submit a game for the conquest win, then continue that game and submit a cultural win or whatever, you have people...

I'd also have to agree. Rewarding micromanagement to such a degree is silly, and I'm much more interested in who can win the fastest vs who is the most masochistic and has the time to optimize their empire for score after the game is already over. ;) First to win per each victory type in a...

You don't necessarily even need horses or iron. In my game, I got warrior code from him, expanded sw to the plains area with 4 cattle, and made a road down to Veii. Then I attacked with 3 archers and 3 hoplites, and took Veii and Rome, then got two more cities when I asked for peace. Get...

Just a suggestion, but as somelike like that is clearly exploitive, you might not want to make it a cornerstone of your strategy. ;)
